Market Gardening by Steam.

An elaborate and effective plan for "fOrcng the
season" in New England has been resorted to by
Boston market gardener, whose enterprise is
worthy of recognition. His gardens in Cambridge
are spacious, being about three acres in extent
When lettuce is worth in the Boston market a
quarter of dollar head, and "greens" and rad
ishes are correspondingly dear, this enterprising
Yankee makes money by supplying marketmen
with such things far in advance of the natural
son. His beds have not only the glass coverings
which are provided for ordinary hot beds, but
novel Arrangement in addition in the shape of a
system of underground steam pipes for warming
the garden. These are for the benefit of uncovered
BEDS as well as for some that are glass covered I;
so that in early May, when the ordinary hot bed
has gone by, the forcing process can still 60 on,
even in uncovered outdoor beds, by means of this
"bottom heat" in the pipes. 1t is said to be a
paying operation.

A Pretty Scheme That Did Not Work.
WnsLiu0fon Letter.


An interesting disclosure has just been made Of
systematic effort inaugurated last winter to or
ganize an opposition to the Presidents renomina-
ton. The scheme, which had its origin among
some influential politicians in Washington, was
carried to the extent of sending out a number OF
confidential communications to persons presumed
to be displeased with the Presidents higher inter-
probation of his official duties and responsibilities.
After waiting long time for replies there was a
suspicious silence in the expected uprising of OPP
position which struck the plotters with DISPOSE
ton to crawl into their holes. The amusing part
was that the whole scheme was known to members
of the administration and the results were followed
up with interest. The gentlemen who were rum
ming the concern ready to dispose of the polt-
ical right and interest in this administration and
the men who were so backward in coming forward
are thanking their stars for preferring crow to
conviction. In every direction the coast is clear
for Cleveland this time twelve months and between
this and then the marshaing Of the forces will go

The Garfield Home at Mentor, Ohio.
Dill. T.,nna

But little social gayety, as the term is popularity
understood, finds its way into the Garfield home
at Mentor. The members of the family have ac-
cess to the best of Cleveland society, but they rare
ly avail themselves of its opportunities. Most of
the surroundings of the place remain unchanged.
They were the special pride of the dead statesman
and they arc allowed to remain now, not so much
because they are perfect as because they were
planned by the departed. Indoors the same is
true. Several of the rooms, notably the library
and the bed room which the President most fancied
are exactly as he left them. few additional
weights have been placed upon the books and pa
pors but otherwise their arrangement is the same.
Mrs. Garfield still owns the house in Cleveland,
and the purse presented to her places the family
above all want.

Tho Danger of Death from Lightning.

Tho Danger OF Death TON LgnInlHg'
A German scientist gives statistics to prove,
what seems to coincide with popular observations
everywhere, that lightning strokes are increasing
This has been noticed by the reports of deaths and
fires so caused. In cities where the houses are
clustered thickly, and every point acts as light
ning-rod, stroke of lightning is rarely heard of
unless it be in the outskirts. The scientists
figures show that the danger from lightning on
ciayey ground is twenty two times as great and on
sandy soil nine times as great as on calcareous
ground The danger to oak trees is fifty -four times
as great, and to pine trees fifteen times as great
beech trees.

Philopolis, 9th District.-Our farmers have
surely been blessed in the way of good harvest
weather, and if it should continue no doubt num-
Der of them will finish storing away their wheat
rye and hay crops by the close of this week. The

yield while the rye and hay excellent. The
corn crop is looking very promising.

of Western Run Valley, this district, and was high
ly esteemed and beloved by his numerous relatives

two sons in Maryland and two in California-who
have the deepest sympathy of their many friends.
